General Managers with the highest percentage of draft picks to make 1+ Pro Bowls.

I cant watch...

The organization that Jerry built has found some good talent, especially when you consider the undrafted probowl talent like Romo and Austin. Unfortunately, the talent has not always translated into wins.

When the most come out of the Johnson era, it is going to skew the results. Same with Bill Parcells.

If you want to insist that it is all him, then you have to say he is nothing but a product of who the head coach is.

Cut me a memo when you do. Off you go now.

Blind with booze isn't a good combination.

The Pro-Bowl is essentially a popularity contest. Had Jerry done a great job over his tenure at GM, his lead over the others would be much larger. The Cowboys brand and exposure is worth some percentage points alone IMO.

Even a bust like Mike Jenkins made a Pro Bowl.

And does this percentage include players drafted but ended up making the Pro Bowl elsewhere (Jimmy Smith, Martellus Bennett)?

Thanks for the post @rafaelgreco. Maybe perception isn't reality after all.

I would assume the undrafted free agents do not count.

One thing to remember is the starting offense last year was either drafted or signed as undrafted free agents. The only one that was not was Clutts. That is pretty good.

The Jerry haters will never acknowledge this as a legitimate statistic. Just saying.

 

[casmith07]

This dude is in here arguing about Mike Jenkins, lol. I can't deal.

The only stat that matters is Super Bowl wins. We haven't participated in one in almost 20 years. Just sayin'.

Cool stuff.

By my count, 11 of the pro bowlers on Jerry's watch came in the Jimmy era. Net those years' picks out (we had 62 total picks those 5 years), and his percentage drops to 13.6%. Which would still place him third on a list where only he's had his 5 most productive years removed from his totals. Not too shabby. You could also argue that the productivity of those early 90s teams probably gave Jerry a lower average draft position during the few years that followed (1994, 1996, 1996, etc) since we were reaping the benefit of those great players until they aged off the roster.

It's also worth noting that Jerry's record here also includes picks for players like Martellus Bennet, Ron Stone, and Steve Wisniewski who were probowlers, but who arguably did a lot of their development on other teams and under other coaches. Also, this list doesn't include Anthony Hitchens yet.

Generally speaking--other than the few obvious expensive gaffes he's made, Jerry's problem hasn't been the draft. It's been overpaying his players and fielding rosters that are too spotty to win consistently. Including expensive FA whiffs.

Bill Parcells certain contributions were Al Johnson and Jacob Rodgers, saying that all the backs drafted after Jackson were just as good as well as the KR du jour. He spoke against drafting Ware while advocating and winning the argument for those spares. You cannot reasonably attribute draft success to Parcells.

To be fair, it's nine out of 63 since Parcells left in 2007 -- 14.3 percent. And that includes the 1-for-9 so far from the 2014 draft class. Not counting them (most players take a few years to make their first Pro Bowl), it's eight of 54 -- 14.8 percent. Those are about the same as his overall percentage. Granted, the years between Johnson and Parcells were much lower (8 percent), but we've obviously drafted pretty well since Parcells left.

That's only cuz garrett is drafting well now

There is no doubt we have drafted better in the last few seasons.

But the Phillips era was not stellar. That is why I will say this until the cows come home, he drafts as well as what advice he is given. It is that simple.

That is a little different from your normal GM arrangement, where they do have real evaluation involved.
